Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1512826A1] An end cap for a longitudinally-elongated movable rail of a window covering having an inclined side edge, extending upwardly at an acute angle to a longitudinal end of the movable rail. The end cap includes: a base part on the end of the movable rail; and a guide part, on the base part, that extends longitudinally away from the guide part and the end of the movable rail to a longitudinal end of the guide part. <??>A surface of the longitudinal end of the guide part also is upwardly inclined at an acute angle, and a passage extends longitudinally through the guide part to its longitudinal end. An upwardly inclined funnel is provided at the passage's opening, on to the inclined surface.The passage is adapted, so that a tension cord, from the base part, can move through it and then move smoothly along the inclined surface on the guide part's longitudinal end and then along the covering's inclined side edge when raising and lowering the window covering. <IMAGE>
